Construction zones are a common sight in Clifton—from residential developments to major public works. But behind the scaffolding and safety vests, serious hazards often go unchecked. When shortcuts are taken or safety rules ignored, people get hurt. At Malloy Law Offices, our Clifton construction accident lawyer represents workers, site visitors, and passersby injured by unsafe conditions and negligent contractors.
Many victims assume they’re limited to workers’ comp—but that’s not always the case. If your injury was caused by a third party, dangerous equipment, or a property hazard, you may have a personal injury claim in addition to any employment-related benefits. Our firm handles:
Construction workers hurt by unsafe practices or subcontractor negligence
Pedestrians or drivers struck by falling materials or equipment
Visitors, inspectors, or delivery personnel injured onsite
Tenants affected by incomplete or unsafe renovations
We look beyond the jobsite report to understand exactly who caused the danger—and why they should be held accountable.
Clifton’s mix of residential and commercial builds creates a wide range of risks. We represent clients injured in construction accidents involving:
Falls from ladders, scaffolds, or rooflines
Falling debris, tools, or materials
Collisions involving dump trucks, forklifts, or other heavy machinery
Trench collapses or excavation cave-ins
Electrocution due to exposed wiring or poor site planning
Malfunctioning cranes, lifts, or hoists
Structural collapses or framing failures
Whether the job was big or small, a safety lapse can lead to devastating results.
Construction accidents often involve heavy equipment, heights, and fast-moving materials—leading to severe and life-changing harm. Our clients come to us with:
Broken bones or joint injuries requiring surgery
Head trauma and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Spinal cord damage and mobility issues
Amputations or crush-related injuries
Severe burns or chemical exposure
Emotional distress, anxiety, and trauma
We work with respected medical professionals and care planners to ensure your case reflects the full physical, financial, and psychological cost of your injury.
In many cases, yes. While workers’ compensation limits lawsuits against direct employers, many construction injuries involve third parties. You may have a valid personal injury claim if your injuries were caused by:
A subcontractor or independent contractor on-site
A general contractor who failed to maintain safe conditions
The manufacturer or distributor of defective machinery
A property owner who failed to correct hazards
A utility provider whose work created dangerous conditions
We conduct a detailed investigation to expose every source of liability—and make sure you’re not limited to the lowest possible payout.
If you were hurt in a construction accident and someone else was at fault, you may be entitled to seek financial recovery for:
ER visits, surgeries, and hospitalization
Rehab, physical therapy, or home health support
Lost income and reduced ability to earn a living
Pain and suffering—both physical and emotional
Permanent disability, scarring, or disfigurement
Career retraining or vocational assistance
Wrongful death damages for surviving family members
We don’t just aim for quick settlements. We build compelling cases designed for trial—because that’s how we get results that truly reflect the impact on your life.
